## ANNUAL REPORT ## April 1[st] 2021 to March 31[st] 2022 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE: The original plans for a participatory public art project, created almost two years before the Coronavirus pandemic, sought to connect the legacy of Beuys conceptual artwork: '7,000 Eichen' (Oaks) with the significant increase in public awareness of the Ecological and Climate Change Emergency, in particular the agroforestry and soil centred solutions promoted by the Soil Association. The Greenhouse – reopened on the 1st October 2021- as part of Norwich Open Studios, hosting an exhibition by four artists and involving 100 oak tree (saplings) grown from acorns during the lock-down. The evolving tree/climate change installation/exhibition has been tended by our part-time member of staff and a small team of dedicated artists/ volunteers. The gallery - now located on the ground-floor of the building has continued to open on Saturdays and by appointment since then. The Greenhouse has also continued to promote outdoor wine tasting events in conjunction with Substrata who promote organic wine production. The number of visitors to the gallery has slowly and steadily increased as the level of inoculation against the strains of Coronavirus has increased. We are extremely grateful for grants from The Paul Bassham and The Geoffrey Watling Trusts. These grants mean that we can continue to adapt the former cafe space and develop the work in the gallery space. A new entrance lobby is being constructed, which will enable both the kitchen and garden to be used for events. The new partition and doors also separate the ground-floor from the first floor and creates a room from which the Trust can administrate 7,000 **[+] .** The Trust's website has bee redesigned in order to promote both 7,000 **[+]** and eARTh. However the Trust has not yet secured funds to move its resources and services on-line, so whilst we are making steady progress physically on-site, our on-line presence is somewhat limited. Generous gift aid donations and sales of second-hand books, music CD's and art continue to provide the Trust with funds to keep the Greenhouse well maintained and running. It would be hard to overstate our gratitude to the Trustees and volunteers who have kept the online sales systems running during this year, despite the personal impact of the pandemic. Thank you all and everyone who supports the Greenhouse, onwards. Margaret Charnley - Chair of Trustees - Signed on Behalf of the Board of Trustees ## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES The principal objectives of the Trust are to: - • Raise the public’s awareness in all aspects of energy and resource conservation particularly in relation to Climate Change. • Advance the education of the public in the efficient and effective use of energy, land resources, water, transport, waste recycling and other environmental issues. - Conserve and protect the environment in the United Kingdom and particularly in Norfolk ## Activities - The maintenance and development of the Greenhouse building as a working exemplar of environmental design. - The creation and promotion of information to promote sustainability. • Working with artists, scientists and artists in order to develop educational and cultural responses to Climate Change and associated environmental matters. Public benefit • The Trustees are aware of the legal boundaries which charitable trusts are required to operate within and access the activities of the Trust accordingly. The board is confident that the creative visual arts and educational work promoted and organised by the Trust are right for the organisation and well within the range of public benefit activities as determined by the Charity Commission. ## In order to deliver its charitable objectives, the Greenhouse organises: • Public events and exhibitions in the Greenhouse and other venues as appropriate, in partnership with other artists, arts and environmental educational organisations. ## Structure, governance and management - The Greenhouse Trust is governed by a Trust Deed. - The Greenhouse has a board of Trustees. • The Trust Deed determines the process of appointment for all Trustees. The board reviews the role of its members at meetings and invites new members to join the board. Similarly, the board considers and reviews the status of each member during the discussion of future plans. • Given the small size of the organisation, Trustees are inducted using a similar procedure to staff induction. This enables both management and governance issues to be dealt with efficiently.

Bertolt Brecht. ## Greenhouse Trust Fund Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2022 ## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, • to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## Basis of independent examiner’s statement My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## Independent examiner’s statement In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: • the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
